Complaint Resolution Procedure

Veterans Resource Center (VRC) prides itself on providing Veteran Education Services in a timely manner. However, there are rare instances in which a student feels that s/he has been treated unfairly. There are two processes: (1) an informal resolution process involving the VRC staff and student services administration; and (2) a formal complaint process through the North Orange County Community College District (NOCCCD) Equity & Diversity Office.

Informal Resolution Process

If a student has a complaint about services or accommodations, s/he should contact the Veterans Resource Center (VRC) staff member responsible for that specific service. If preferred, a student may submit a letter of complaint or complete a Complaint Resolution Form.

Step 1:

The VRC staff member responsible for the service will investigate the complaint and make every effort to issue a written response within a reasonable time (not to exceed two weeks) following the initial contact with the student.

Step 2:

If the student is dissatisfied with the written response from the VRC staff member, s/he may appeal in writing* or meet with the VRC Student Services Specialist or Certifying Official.

Timelines shown for submitting and ruling on a complaint may be extended at the discretion of the administrator investigating the complaint. In situations when the administrator is unavailable to review a complaint (e.g. s/he is ill, on vacation, and/or away on business), an alternate administrator will be designated to carry out the procedure.

Questions about the Complaint Resolution Procedure should be directed to the Student Services Specialist or Certifying Official.

*A student who has difficulty with writing or reading may request accommodations from the VRC office to assist in completing the complaint/appeal form.

Formal Complaint Process

The formal process is available to the student during or after any step in the informal process. For a detailed explanation of the formal complaint process, visit the NOCCCD Equity and Diversity webpage.
